Stacked on the modifications PR. Now that no live code path references
the per-package fetchers, the shared HTTP/parsing helpers, the
in-process normalizer, or the example template, delete them. Pure
deletion — no behavior change.
- ~93 per-package <pkg>/releases.js fetcher modules.
- _common/{brew,fetcher,git-tag,gitea,github,github-source,
githubish,githubish-source}.js shared HTTP/parsing helpers.
- _webi/normalize.js in-process normalization layer (cache files
arrive normalized from webicached).
- _example/releases.js fetcher template for new packages.
The Go cache daemon (webicached) is now the sole producer of release
metadata; the Node process never makes an upstream request.

| watchexec | https://github.com/watchexec/watchexec | watchexec is a simple, standalone tool that watches a path and runs a command whenever it detects modifications. |
To update or switch versions, run webi watchexec@stable (or @v1.17, @beta,
etc).
Files
These are the files / directories that are created and/or modified with this install:
~/.config/envman/PATH.env
~/.local/bin/watchexec
Cheat Sheet
watchexec runs a given command when any files in watched directories change.
It respects .[git]ignore.
Here's the shortlist of options we've found most useful:
-w, --watch ./src/ watch the given directory
-e, --exts js,css watch only the given extensions
-i, --ignore '*.md' do not watch the given pattern
-d, --debounce 5000 the minimum number of milleseconds
to wait between changes
-r, --restart restart the process (for servers, etc)
-s, --signal SIGHUP like -r, but with a signal (ex: SIGHUP)
-c, --clear clear the screen between command runs
-W (wait) ignore all changes as the command runs
-- npm start what command to run, with its arguments
--no-ignore disregard both .ignore and .gitignore
--no-vcs-ignore disregard only .gitignore
--no-default-ignore disregard built-in ignore lists
How to use
Example: List the directory when any files change.
watchexec -c -- ls -lah
Advanced Usage Example
Here's a "kitchen sink" example.
watchexec -c -r -s SIGKILL -d 2000 -W --verbose \
-w ./src -w ./server.js \
-e js,css,html \
-i '*.md' -i 'package-lock.json' \
-- npm run build
